[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved into a very nice apartment building, and over the past couple weeks I have slowly begun to realize that the person next door loves to pick random nights where he (I'm assuming) plays video games either all day or all night long (till 6am) at incredibly loud levels.  The apartments are relatively well sound proofed but his bass manages to vibrate my apartment walls all the way into my bedroom on the other side.  His schedule seems to be unpredictable as sometimes he will do this all day, and sometimes all night.  Sometimes he goes to work from normal hours, and the noises starts at 5 and ends at 10.  but even that seems less than ideal and makes the apartment highly uncomfortable, although it's far preferable to the "all day/all night" random periods.  It's also giving me low grade anxiety, as I never know what day he'll pick to blast the apartment with noise.

It seems to me that the guy doesnt have a lot going on in his life and his only hobby is playing video games, which is fine, I couldnt care less except for the fact that I have to hear/feel the rumblings of the bass from this while I'm trying to work from home/sleep.  I actually passed a delivery man who was delivering 2 fast food bags and 2 bags from 7/11 and asking for directions to the guy's apartment, so I can only assume this is his lifestyle and it's not exactly productive or going to change anytime soon.

I brought it up to the apartment and he lowered the volume SLIGHTLY but still to the point of rumbling my room quite a lot.  I dont want to start some crazy neighbor war, and, again, I doubt the guy is super reasonable and considerate and would be amenable to a conversation, considering his past behavior, so I dont want to speak to him personally.

My question is- what are my recourses?  Should I keep complaining to the apartment every time he does this?  I worry that they wont take it seriously and dont want to be a nuisance.  I've never had this situation before[/quote]

When we lived in our apt in downtown Bethesda, it was a lot of people in their 20's, and our bedroom backed up to the bedroom of the apartment next to ours.

Well, at least 5 nights a week the couple in that apartment would have REALLY loud sex between the hours of 3-5 am.  
On the weekends, I didn't care, have at it, but during the week my (now) husband & I both had to be up at 6am for work... but how do you start that conversation with a neighbor you've never met before?

Well, my husband came up with a perfect solution...

[b]I can't remember the exact wording, but he changed our wifi name to something like:

They QUICKLY got the message and quieted down. 😉[/b]
